RMAN-06019: rman does not recognizes plugged in tablespaces

Background: Migrating HP-UX oracle 9i to 10g On Linux RH4 using transportable tablespace to ASM
The last step in this kind of procedure is to transfer the database file from filesystem to ASM using RMAN:

RMAN> backup as copy tablespace TRANS_TEST format '+DATA/psdwh/datafile';

Starting backup at 22-FEB-07
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: sid=136 devtype=DISK
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of backup command at 02/22/2007 14:06:40
RMAN-20202: tablespace not found in the recovery catalog
RMAN-06019: could not translate tablespace name "TRANS_TEST"

It looks like we are hit bug#2656503 (not published on Metalink) which states that rman does not recognizes plugged in tablespaces
until they are put in 'read write' mode.

Solution:

SQL> alter tablespace TRANS_TEST online;
SQL> alter tabelspace TRANS_TEST read write;
SQL> alter tabelspace TRANS_TEST read only;
SQL> alter tablespace TRANS_TEST offline;

Repeat the rman 'backup as copy'.

    Great Catch man... When we get this error..a strange but obvious thing to notice is that dba_data_files view shows the tablespace_name whereas report schema rman command doesn't list the tablespace...

    Cool..

Silent Installation

Some times there are problems using installation with GUI, the reason can be: 1. Firewall 2. Unix security 3. Client software (missing or not working( and maybe some more reasons If your environment is cooperative helping you solve this - it is simple - go for it. But if you are on your own and can't reach "the right guys" - do it yourself " Silently " Look for the proper response file fits for your needs in /database/response/ Edit it and run the following command: $ ./runInstaller -force -invPtrLoc /oraInst.loc -silent -noconfig -ignoreSysPrereqs -responseFile /database/response/enterprise.rsp You can also run the installer without a response file as mentioned in Metalink Note 782918.1 $ ./runInstaller -silent -force -debug \ FROM_LOCATION="/mount/dvd/database/stage/products.xml" \ ORACLE_HOME="/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1" \ ORACLE_HOME_NAME="Ora11gDb1" ORACLE_BASE="/u01/app/oracle" \ TOPLEVEL_COMPONENT='{&q

Data Guard - Changing IP Addresses

Image
When changing IP of a host we should update/recheck the following places: /etc/hosts or DNS listener.ora tnsnames.ora Database parameters (local_listener, remote_listener) Data Guard configuration This document is also relevant when changing the IP address of the connection between the hosts, other than the original IP addresses we used during the installation. When installation is done using the hostname and not the IP address, most of the changes are not relevant except for /etc/hosts. In this document, I will describe how to change the Data Guard Broker configuration. Dataguard configuration Show the environment DGMGRL> show configuration Configuration - dr   Protection Mode: MaxAvailability   Members:   pdb7 - Primary database     fdb7 - Far sync instance       sdb7 - Physical standby database Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED Configuration Status: SUCCESS   (status updated 351 seconds ago) Show detailed information of the Primary
